The parody account was created by Onion News Network writers Cullen Crawford, Megan Maile Green and Daniel Kibblesmith. In an attempt to capture the genius creativity behind The Fake Pinterest, I asked Crawford, Green and Kibblesmith to answer a few questions about the project.

Though this story wasn’t originally intended as a Q&A, their answers are far too entertaining to paraphrase:

KM: Where did you attend college?Fake Pinterest: We consider the world in general – and especially Africa – to be our college. We’re majoring in ourselves.

KM: What was your inspiration/purpose for starting the Fake Pinterest account?FP: I think we wanted to rail against the condescending tiny boxes that the content on that site wants to put an entire gender into…and, of course, to expose the beast that lurks inside the hearts of America’s nice women.

KM: What are your favorite tweets that you have posted onto the account?Cullen’s choice:

Wrap a baby in Christmas lights. No one can stop you. — The Fake Pinterest (@PinterestFake) November 11, 2013

KM: Have you received any backlash from the real Pinterest site?FP: We haven’t heard from them, which in many ways is worse than backlash. It’s like when a child acts out for attention and their parents just keep ignoring them.

KM: Have you ever actually tried a Pinterest DIY project? How did it turn out?FP: Cullen is failing to get abs.

Megan is currently using her son’s beautiful blonde hair as thread to embroider a kaftan for herself. It’s going great.

Daniel does not do projects.

KM: Anything additional you’d like to add?FP: This is for college children, right? College children: please do better than our terrible generation. Cast off your pinterests and go build a tree for an adopted family. We can’t even give life advice that isn’t draped in sarcasm. Help us.
